Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation
modes?
o To get optimum performance from your cooker, the air will be
taken out of the room via external ducting.
o Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an
outside wall, this may not be possible. The only alternative is to
recirculate the air.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and
o
passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-
enters the kitchen via an opening in the hood
What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?
o All cooker hoods have grease filters but if you are using your
cooker hood in recirculation mode, then charcoal filters must be
fitted in addition to the grease filters.
